Bedroom Athletics.....No Not That Kind ;-) & My OOTD

14 December 2014

I bet the first two words of my blog title got you double taking....apologises for any spilt coffee ;-) but today I'm having a look at Bedroom Athletics & no it's not what you think (I'm not that sort of girl!!!) although I have to admit when an email from them first pinged into my inbox I did wonder what I was going to find ;-)

In fact Bedroom Athletics are a reputable company that began in 2007 & offer great quality designed & made slippers & loungewear.

Now I have a confession to make.........& that is that seeing as I work from home I spend a hell of a lot of time in my slippers so for me slippers (especially in the winter) are a must have item! Which leads me to the question what type of slipper girl are you?!

I'm normally a plain black M&S type of ballet shoe slipper girl but that's all been changed after my introduction to Bedroom Athletics as I've been very lucky for them to very kindly send me a pair to road test.

Before I show you which slippers are now keeping my tootsies snuggly & warm I thought I'd share with you some of their different designs.

Starting with these lovely Harris Tweed moccasin slippers. I love the design of these as they're not only sheepskin lined but they're also a slipper that doesn't look like a slipper if you get my drift meaning that you can easily nip outside to pop the bins out without looking as if you're in your slippers! Especially handy in you happen to lock yourself out.....just me?!!

This next pair are a bit out there but I love these for two reasons......first in the summer months when you want something on your feet but it's too hot for them to be fully enclosed then how fab would these flip flop style be?! But my MAIN reason for loving them is you know when you give yourself a pedicure & you then have to wait ages for your nail polish to totally dry whilst you get cold feet?! Well how useful would these be....no cold soles but still your toe nails can dry in their own sweet time.....brilliant!

So lots of gorgeous designs to choose from & in the end I chose these stunning Milly distressed slippers. Very similar to the Molly ones above but they have the most gorgeous distressed shearling upper. Plus of course their genuine sheepskin lining means my tootsies are totally toasty & loving their new abode.....& being slip on it means I can quickly slip them off should a client unexpectedly arrive ;-)

All slippers are available in three sizes, small (size 3-4), medium (5-6) and large (7-8). I'm a size 40, which is a UK 6½ & the medium 5-6 fit me perfectly, so I'd advise sizing down.

As I mentioned earlier Bedroom Athletics also do some great loungewear, click here to take a further peak.....I've got my eye on these stunning check lounge wear pants......I'm simply a sucker for anything hot pink right now & how perfect would these be teamed with a sweatshirt for those lazy days I'm planning on spending on the sofa scoffing the odd chocolate or two at Christmas?!!

Finishing with what I'm wearing today. Our son has his final exam for his second dan black belt in karate today so an incredibly early start for us as he has to be there at 8am and will finish at 6pm tonight!! We're unable to watch or have contact so it's going to be a tense day keeping everything crossed with hubby & I constantly asking each other how we think he's getting on!!! We're just hoping that the 2 years it's taken just to train for this belt will pay off.....I'm going to be one proud mamma if we get the thumbs up when we walk into the presentation *crosses fingers!*

So had you heard of Bedroom Athletics before & what do you think of their collection? I don't think my feet have ever been happier in their new abode & I can't recommend them highly enough.

I'd love to hear your thoughts & know what kind of slipper girl you are. Perhaps you're even hoping Santa pops a pair of new slippers in your stocking, after all it's the perfect time of year to wear them in!

I am not a slipper girl, my feet do get too hot,but the slippers you have featured look fab. Fingers crossed that your son does well!!! I love that Boden cashmere v neck .... Need to check out if it's still available. Xx

Love the look of the pink Kate tweed slippers, they are gorgeous!! Really gorgeous outfit of the day Jane! Congratulations to your son......just saw on Instagram that he passed!! Well done.....enjoy your bubbles!! xx

I had heard of this brand before but I'd not really looked into their products properly. I really love the Kate Harris sheepskin mule slippers! You've made a great choice and I love the outfit you're wearing with them! I have a feeling I have a pair of slipper boots waiting under the Christmas tree... Lovely OOTD, too. xxxwww.justemma.co.uk
